’HAH FOR MILLS.
HE HEADS SPKAK.KKltEED A LESSON
STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER.
A Stormy Day in the House of Represen-tatives—
Mr. Springer Joins Mr. Mills
But They are Downed by the Re-publican
Majority—Letter
From Mr. Blaine.
Fifty-First Congress.
HOUSE.
Washington, June 19.—The journal
having been read, Mr. Mills of Texas,
objected to its approval on the ground
that the clerk had not read it in full.
The speaker suggested that the clerk
had only omitted to read such portions
as is customary not to read, but lie
ordered the full reading of the journal.
The clerk, proceeding, read that por-tion
of the journal which discloses the
reference of the silver bill to the com-rnittee
on coinage, weights and measures.
During the reading Messrs. Mills and
McKinley remained standing anxious to
claim recognition. The latter was sue-cessful
and he moved that the iournal
be approved and demanded the previous
question, despite Mr. Mills’ protest
that he was entitled to recognition to
move to correct the journal.
Mr. Springer rising to a question of
order raised the point that the journal
contained a record of something which
had never happened and which should
not be in the journal.
The speaker replied that was for the
house to decide, and directed the clerk
to call the roll.
The clerk proceeded with this duty
while Mr. Springer, amid the applause
of his side, protested against the ruling.
To the speaker he said : “You can ignore
the rights of the representatives of the
people, but the people will pull you
down at the polls next November and
your party with you.” But the speaker
was importunable and the roll call con-tinued.
The house refused to order the
previous question—yeas, 106; nays, 117.
The following Republicans voted with
the Democrats in the negative: Messrs.
Bartine, Delhaven, Kelly, Kerr of Iowa,
Lindsay, Morrow and Townsend of Colo-rado.
When the loud Democratic applause
ceased Mr. Mills was recognized by the
speaker. He offered a resolution recit-ing
that the order of the reference made
by the speaker, referring the silver bill
to the committee on coinage, weights
and measures was incorrect, under the
rules of the house, and was made with-out
authority under the rules, and re-solving
that the journal be corrected by
striking therefrom this entry.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois raised a point
of order against the resolution; it pur-ported
to strike out an entry in the jour-nal
which recorded a question oi fact;
it was not in order for the reason that,
if adopted, it would have the effect of
changing the reference of a bill, with
senate amendments, otherwise than was
provided by the rules of the house. He
proceeded to argue that the senate
amendments would require to be con-sidered
in committee of the whole, that
being so, it was the duty of the speaker
to refer it to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. The resolution
sought to change something that was in
the journal, which recorded a reference
of a bi’l to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. Under the rules
he knew that there was an interest in
this.legislation and it was an important
matter, he knew that the gentleman de-sired
to consider it and it ought to be
considered, but no man on the floor of
this house, whatever his views might be
touching the merits of this legislation,
could consistently, with his own con-science,
and in the face of the country,
vote to strike out the recital of the fact
and by this left-handed ex-parliamen-tary
method, take from the committee,
a bill which under the rules belonged
to it
Mr. Mills of Texas characterized Mr.
Cannon’s position as the boldest, most
reckless and absurd position he had ever
heard maintained in a legislative body.
It showed only that a bright,well stored,
well disciplined m’nd might become
clouded by starting out in error and con-tinuing
in that course.
“Vice is a monster of such hideous mien
Needs to be hated, but to be seen;
Seen too oft’, familiar with his face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.” I
[Laughter.] The gentleman and his
party had started out at the beginning
of the session by asserting to the coun-try,
by a code of rules,that no one man or
triumvirate could control the action of
the representatives of 60,000,000 people.
Under the constitution the journal was
to be kept by the house, not by the
speaker or his clerks. He was astonished
while the gentleman was pursuing bis
argument that the speaker hadn’t told
him, as he had the other gentleman from
Illinois, Mr. Springer, that this was a
question for the house to determine. He
charged the Republican party with being
false to its pledges on the matter of sil-ver.
The Democratic party would give
the people free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the people will ask the Republi-cans
why they did not fulfill their prom-iaes.
Mr. Peters of Kansas, though declar-iflg
himself a free coinage man, sustained
the speaker’s action contending, that uu-der
the rules it was the speaker’s duty
to refer the bill as he had done.
Mr. Biggs of California put an inter-rogatory
with such vehemence as to
drafT forth the laughter of the house.
While Mr. Biggs was totally oblivious
-to the speaker’s gavel he continued to
put his question.
Finally the speaker asked stern]}'
“will the gentleman from Californt i be
in order?”
“I will” replied Mr. Biggs in a meek
and pleasant voice which again gave
rise to merriment.
Mr. Crisp of Georgia submitted an ar-gument
to show that under the rules the
speaker had not the power to refer the
bill as he.had done. In the course of
his remarks he referred to a decision
made by the speaker in regard to the
Washington postolfice bill, which he
held was totally in variance with the
present decision.
Mr. Butterworth controverted the con-struction
put upon the decision by Mr.
Crisp.
He said if he had so construed the
speaker’s decision he would have voted
to overrule it.
Mr. Crisp suggested that if the gentle-man
had done that it would have been
the first time he had ever voted to over-rule
the chair.
Mr. Butterworth remarked smilingly
that the chair was always right.
Mr. Crisp disclaimed any discourtesy
in drawing a simile between the gentle-man’s
remarks and the remark of a
Hindoo when he approached his hideous
god: “I know that he is ugly, but I feel
that he is great.”
Mr. Thomas’ sally gave rise to heavy
laughter in which the speaker joined,
though in a moment he rose and dryly
said: “The chair hopes that personal
matters will not be introduced into this
discussion.” [Laughter.]
Mr. Springer of Illinois contended for
the right of the house to revise its jour-nal
and make it show that the ma-jority
of the house decided that it
should show the pumose of offering the
bill to the committee on coinage, weights
and measuies was to prevent the house
from voting on the question of concur-rence
in the senate amendments. The
rules, which it was claimed were in-tended
to allow a majority to do busi-ness
and produce results, were now
prostituted to base purpose of gagging
the minority of the honse
Mr. Bland of Missouri held that there
was no other course open but to strike
erroneous reference of the hill from the
journal that would place the bill on the
speakers table again and allow the house
to get at it.
Mr. Butterworth of Ohio said that the
time had not come when the Republican
party was willing to abdicate its control
over the business of the house. The
question would be put next fall, not in
time to affect this question.
Mr. McMillan of Tennessee—But it
will be in time for this question to af-feet
it.
Mr. Butterworth sjid the pending
proposition looked to a correction of the
record by striking out a part which the
resolution itself said constituted a part
of the proceedings. It sought to unhorse
the Republican majority of the house
and put the Democratic minority in the
saddle. The Republicans should not
abdicate iu favor of the Democrats until
at least they should determine they were
unable to conduct the Dusiness of the
majority. [Republican applause.]
Mr. Anderson of Kansas, while declar-ing
himself an earnest advocate of free
coinage, maintained the correctness of
the speaker’s ruling, but he wanted to
ask the ( hairman of the committee on
'coinage, weights and measures whether
that committee would give the house a
chance to vote upon the measure.
Mr. Conger replied that as far as he
was personally concerned he would make
every effort to secure legislation on this
subject.
Mr. Anderson—Then I am satisfied.
Mr. Crisp suggested that the commit-tee
on rules might have something to
say on the subject.
Mr. Anderson retorted that the mem-bers
of that committee were as devoted
to the interests of the people as the
gentleman from Georgia.
Mr. Crisp reminded the gentleman
that the committee had refused to per-mit
the house to vote on the free coin-age
of silver.
Mr. Williams of Illinois, remarked
that the majority of the committee on
coinage weights and measures was op-posed
to free coinage. Was the gentle-man
from Kansas willing to Bend the
bill to that committee?
Mr. Anderson suggested that the bill
was there now and it couldn’t be pre-vented.
Mr. Cannon—The majority can do
anything it wants. [Decisive laughter
on the Democratic side.]
After further spicy debate the speaker
overruled the point of order and Bubmit-ted
the question to the house.
Mr. Cannon moved to table Mr. Mills’
resolution. On standing vote this was
carried, but on the vote by the tellers
the motion to table was lost—yeas, 118;
nays, 123.
The question then recurred on Mr.
Mills’ resolution and was agreed to—
yeas, 121; nays, 117.
At the conclusion of the roll call the
vote stood yeas, 119; nays, 117. A
change' of one would be necessary to de-feat
thp resolution by a tie vote and
that change was made by Mr. Funston
of Kansas, amid derisive jeers of the
Demoirats. This left the vote—yeas,
118; nays, 118. But the change proved
unavailing. Messrs. Abbott of Texas
and Bullock of Florida, whose names
were not recorded, stated they had voted
in the affirmative and the .speaker ac-cepting
their statement, the vote stood
—yeas, 120; nays, 118.
Mr. McKinley then arose and amid
Democratic laughter changed his vote to
the affirmative and the vote was finally
announced—yeas, 121; nays, 117..
Mr. McKinley was then recognized to
move reconsideration and also to move
an adjournment.
Mr. Mills managed to sandwich in a
motion to lay the motion to reconsider
on the table.
On the motion to lay Mr. Mills’ reso-lution
on the table the following Re-publican
voted with the Democrats in
the negative: Messrs. Bartine, Carter,
De Haven, Ewart, Kelly, Morrow and
Townsend of Colorado. On the resolu-tion
itself, Mr. Ewart did not vote, the
other gentlemen mentioned voted with
the Democrats in the affiirmative, but
only for the purpose of moving a recon-sideration.
The motion to adjourn was lost—
yeas, 119; nays 120.
The vote recurring on Mr. Mills’ mo-tion
to table the motion to reconsider
was agreed to—yeas, 121; nays, 114.
Mr. Mills then moved the approval of
the journal as amended, asking to with-draw
the preamble which recites that
order of reference made by the speaker
referring the silver bill to the committee
on coinage, weights and measures was
incorrect under the rules of the house
and without authority under said rules.
Mr. McKinley objected and the
question recurred on the adoption of
the preamble. It was lost—yeas, 109;
nays, 121. (Republican applause.)
Mr. Springer moved the approval of
the journal as amended, pending which
the house adjourned.

‘ A LETTER FROM BLAINE.
Washington, June 19. — President
Harrisson to-day transmitted to con-gress
a letter from Secretary Blaine upon
thd subject of customs unions in re-spect

to the tariff, bill authorizing the

any American nation upon which no
export duties are charged, so long as
suoh nations shall admit free to its
ports manufactures and products of the

THE ATTACK CONTINUES. |
London, June 19.—The.Chronicle con- I
tinues its attack upon Lord Salisbury’s |
agreement with Germany with unabated I
violence, and frantically calls upon the j
parties of the opposition in parliameBiidH
to combine and secure its rejection.
the premier’s humiliating surrender to*
Germany, The Chronicle foresees the
plain defeat of the ministry and dissolu-tion
of parliament, and predicts that the .
verdict of the appeal to the country will
be so sweeping a condemnation of the
agreement as to deter future govern-meats
from trifling with the prestieo
and honor of Great Britain, and the
reckless throwing away of her territory.
STANLEY COMPLIMENTING SALISBURY.
London, June 19.—H. M. Stanley was
presented with an address at Berwick to-day.
In reply he spoke in the most en-thusiastic
terms of the wisdom of Lord
Salisbury, as shown in the settlement
with Germany, of the African question.
By the agreement between the two coun-tries
50,000 square miles of territory
were added to British possessions, in
Africa. Instead of a dolorus tirade
against the prime minister Stanley said
now is the time to sing a p;ean in his
honor. It is now possible to realize
the great dream of those who are con-cerned
in the exploration and civiliza-tion
of Africa from the Cape of Good
Hope to Cairo. In conclusion, Stanley
said that God gave Lord Salisbury wis-dom
to gain this end and expressed the
hope that the prime minister long might
live and flourish.
WOULD BE A MISFORTUNE.
London, June 19.—A dispatch from,
the Times’ correspondsnt at Boi says it
would be an international misfortune if
the current of Germany thankfulness
toward England should be converted
into a less fraternal feeling by the rejec-tion
by the British parliament of the
bill for the concession of Heligoland to
Germany in return for territorial con-cessions
in Africa made by Germany to
England. The Germans are delighted
beyond measure with the successful ter-mination
of the Anglo-German negotia-tions
regarding the African territory.
RUSSIA.
THE INTERNATIONAL PRISONS CONGRESS.
St. Petersburg, June 19.—The
international prisons congress, now in
session in this city, has adopted resolu-tions
declaring, first, that in the future
treaties between nations generally, the
principle of extraditions should be
recognized and an agreement arrived at
as to the nature of cases to be deemell
exceptions to the rules. Second, that
international associations should be
formed to assist discharged prisoners
and their families. Third, that action
of charitable bodies, both punitive and
preventive, should be brought into
general agreement. • Fourth, that
inebriety accompanied by disorderly
conduct should be punishable, that
sellers of alcohols should be responsible
for crimes resulting from their serving
drunken men and that the sale of liquors
on credit or to children should be pro-hibited.
Mr. Randall of Michigan will
address the congress on the subject of
“young offenders.”

’HAH FOR MILLS.
HE HEADS SPKAK.KKltEED A LESSON
STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER.
A Stormy Day in the House of Represen-tatives—
Mr. Springer Joins Mr. Mills
But They are Downed by the Re-publican
Majority—Letter
From Mr. Blaine.
Fifty-First Congress.
HOUSE.
Washington, June 19.—The journal
having been read, Mr. Mills of Texas,
objected to its approval on the ground
that the clerk had not read it in full.
The speaker suggested that the clerk
had only omitted to read such portions
as is customary not to read, but lie
ordered the full reading of the journal.
The clerk, proceeding, read that por-tion
of the journal which discloses the
reference of the silver bill to the com-rnittee
on coinage, weights and measures.
During the reading Messrs. Mills and
McKinley remained standing anxious to
claim recognition. The latter was sue-cessful
and he moved that the iournal
be approved and demanded the previous
question, despite Mr. Mills’ protest
that he was entitled to recognition to
move to correct the journal.
Mr. Springer rising to a question of
order raised the point that the journal
contained a record of something which
had never happened and which should
not be in the journal.
The speaker replied that was for the
house to decide, and directed the clerk
to call the roll.
The clerk proceeded with this duty
while Mr. Springer, amid the applause
of his side, protested against the ruling.
To the speaker he said : “You can ignore
the rights of the representatives of the
people, but the people will pull you
down at the polls next November and
your party with you.” But the speaker
was importunable and the roll call con-tinued.
The house refused to order the
previous question—yeas, 106; nays, 117.
The following Republicans voted with
the Democrats in the negative: Messrs.
Bartine, Delhaven, Kelly, Kerr of Iowa,
Lindsay, Morrow and Townsend of Colo-rado.
When the loud Democratic applause
ceased Mr. Mills was recognized by the
speaker. He offered a resolution recit-ing
that the order of the reference made
by the speaker, referring the silver bill
to the committee on coinage, weights
and measures was incorrect, under the
rules of the house, and was made with-out
authority under the rules, and re-solving
that the journal be corrected by
striking therefrom this entry.
Mr. Cannon of Illinois raised a point
of order against the resolution; it pur-ported
to strike out an entry in the jour-nal
which recorded a question oi fact;
it was not in order for the reason that,
if adopted, it would have the effect of
changing the reference of a bill, with
senate amendments, otherwise than was
provided by the rules of the house. He
proceeded to argue that the senate
amendments would require to be con-sidered
in committee of the whole, that
being so, it was the duty of the speaker
to refer it to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. The resolution
sought to change something that was in
the journal, which recorded a reference
of a bi’l to the committee on coinage,
weights and measures. Under the rules
he knew that there was an interest in
this.legislation and it was an important
matter, he knew that the gentleman de-sired
to consider it and it ought to be
considered, but no man on the floor of
this house, whatever his views might be
touching the merits of this legislation,
could consistently, with his own con-science,
and in the face of the country,
vote to strike out the recital of the fact
and by this left-handed ex-parliamen-tary
method, take from the committee,
a bill which under the rules belonged
to it
Mr. Mills of Texas characterized Mr.
Cannon’s position as the boldest, most
reckless and absurd position he had ever
heard maintained in a legislative body.
It showed only that a bright,well stored,
well disciplined m’nd might become
clouded by starting out in error and con-tinuing
in that course.
“Vice is a monster of such hideous mien
Needs to be hated, but to be seen;
Seen too oft’, familiar with his face,
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.” I
[Laughter.] The gentleman and his
party had started out at the beginning
of the session by asserting to the coun-try,
by a code of rules,that no one man or
triumvirate could control the action of
the representatives of 60,000,000 people.
Under the constitution the journal was
to be kept by the house, not by the
speaker or his clerks. He was astonished
while the gentleman was pursuing bis
argument that the speaker hadn’t told
him, as he had the other gentleman from
Illinois, Mr. Springer, that this was a
question for the house to determine. He
charged the Republican party with being
false to its pledges on the matter of sil-ver.
The Democratic party would give
the people free and unlimited coinage of
silver, the people will ask the Republi-cans
why they did not fulfill their prom-iaes.
Mr. Peters of Kansas, though declar-iflg
himself a free coinage man, sustained
the speaker’s action contending, that uu-der
the rules it was the speaker’s duty
to refer the bill as he had done.
Mr. Biggs of California put an inter-rogatory
with such vehemence as to
drafT forth the laughter of the house.
While Mr. Biggs was totally oblivious
-to the speaker’s gavel he continued to
put his question.
Finally the speaker asked stern]}'
“will the gentleman from Californt i be
in order?”
“I will” replied Mr. Biggs in a meek
and pleasant voice which again gave
rise to merriment.
Mr. Crisp of Georgia submitted an ar-gument
to show that under the rules the
speaker had not the power to refer the
bill as he.had done. In the course of
his remarks he referred to a decision
made by the speaker in regard to the
Washington postolfice bill, which he
held was totally in variance with the
present decision.
Mr. Butterworth controverted the con-struction
put upon the decision by Mr.
Crisp.
He said if he had so construed the
speaker’s decision he would have voted
to overrule it.
Mr. Crisp suggested that if the gentle-man
had done that it would have been
the first time he had ever voted to over-rule
the chair.
Mr. Butterworth remarked smilingly
that the chair was always right.
Mr. Crisp disclaimed any discourtesy
in drawing a simile between the gentle-man’s
remarks and the remark of a
Hindoo when he approached his hideous
god: “I know that he is ugly, but I feel
that he is great.”
Mr. Thomas’ sally gave rise to heavy
laughter in which the speaker joined,
though in a moment he rose and dryly
said: “The chair hopes that personal
matters will not be introduced into this
discussion.” [Laughter.]
Mr. Springer of Illinois contended for
the right of the house to revise its jour-nal
and make it show that the ma-jority
of the house decided that it
should show the pumose of offering the
bill to the committee on coinage, weights
and measuies was to prevent the house
from voting on the question of concur-rence
in the senate amendments. The
rules, which it was claimed were in-tended
to allow a majority to do busi-ness
and produce results, were now
prostituted to base purpose of gagging
the minority of the honse
Mr. Bland of Missouri held that there
was no other course open but to strike
erroneous reference of the hill from the
journal that would place the bill on the
speakers table again and allow the house
to get at it.
Mr. Butterworth of Ohio said that the
time had not come when the Republican
party was willing to abdicate its control
over the business of the house. The
question would be put next fall, not in
time to affect this question.
Mr. McMillan of Tennessee—But it
will be in time for this question to af-feet
it.
Mr. Butterworth sjid the pending
proposition looked to a correction of the
record by striking out a part which the
resolution itself said constituted a part
of the proceedings. It sought to unhorse
the Republican majority of the house
and put the Democratic minority in the
saddle. The Republicans should not
abdicate iu favor of the Democrats until
at least they should determine they were
unable to conduct the Dusiness of the
majority. [Republican applause.]
Mr. Anderson of Kansas, while declar-ing
himself an earnest advocate of free
coinage, maintained the correctness of
the speaker’s ruling, but he wanted to
ask the ( hairman of the committee on
'coinage, weights and measures whether
that committee would give the house a
chance to vote upon the measure.
Mr. Conger replied that as far as he
was personally concerned he would make
every effort to secure legislation on this
subject.
Mr. Anderson—Then I am satisfied.
Mr. Crisp suggested that the commit-tee
on rules might have something to
say on the subject.
Mr. Anderson retorted that the mem-bers
of that committee were as devoted
to the interests of the people as the
gentleman from Georgia.
Mr. Crisp reminded the gentleman
that the committee had refused to per-mit
the house to vote on the free coin-age
of silver.
Mr. Williams of Illinois, remarked
that the majority of the committee on
coinage weights and measures was op-posed
to free coinage. Was the gentle-man
from Kansas willing to Bend the
bill to that committee?
Mr. Anderson suggested that the bill
was there now and it couldn’t be pre-vented.
Mr. Cannon—The majority can do
anything it wants. [Decisive laughter
on the Democratic side.]
After further spicy debate the speaker
overruled the point of order and Bubmit-ted
the question to the house.
Mr. Cannon moved to table Mr. Mills’
resolution. On standing vote this was
carried, but on the vote by the tellers
the motion to table was lost—yeas, 118;
nays, 123.
The question then recurred on Mr.
Mills’ resolution and was agreed to—
yeas, 121; nays, 117.
At the conclusion of the roll call the
vote stood yeas, 119; nays, 117. A
change' of one would be necessary to de-feat
thp resolution by a tie vote and
that change was made by Mr. Funston
of Kansas, amid derisive jeers of the
Demoirats. This left the vote—yeas,
118; nays, 118. But the change proved
unavailing. Messrs. Abbott of Texas
and Bullock of Florida, whose names
were not recorded, stated they had voted
in the affirmative and the .speaker ac-cepting
their statement, the vote stood
—yeas, 120; nays, 118.
Mr. McKinley then arose and amid
Democratic laughter changed his vote to
the affirmative and the vote was finally
announced—yeas, 121; nays, 117..
Mr. McKinley was then recognized to
move reconsideration and also to move
an adjournment.
Mr. Mills managed to sandwich in a
motion to lay the motion to reconsider
on the table.
On the motion to lay Mr. Mills’ reso-lution
on the table the following Re-publican
voted with the Democrats in
the negative: Messrs. Bartine, Carter,
De Haven, Ewart, Kelly, Morrow and
Townsend of Colorado. On the resolu-tion
itself, Mr. Ewart did not vote, the
other gentlemen mentioned voted with
the Democrats in the affiirmative, but
only for the purpose of moving a recon-sideration.
The motion to adjourn was lost—
yeas, 119; nays 120.
The vote recurring on Mr. Mills’ mo-tion
to table the motion to reconsider
was agreed to—yeas, 121; nays, 114.
Mr. Mills then moved the approval of
the journal as amended, asking to with-draw
the preamble which recites that
order of reference made by the speaker
referring the silver bill to the committee
on coinage, weights and measures was
incorrect under the rules of the house
and without authority under said rules.
Mr. McKinley objected and the
question recurred on the adoption of
the preamble. It was lost—yeas, 109;
nays, 121. (Republican applause.)
Mr. Springer moved the approval of
the journal as amended, pending which
the house adjourned.

THE ATTACK CONTINUES. |
London, June 19.—The.Chronicle con- I
tinues its attack upon Lord Salisbury’s |
agreement with Germany with unabated I
violence, and frantically calls upon the j
parties of the opposition in parliameBiidH
to combine and secure its rejection.
the premier’s humiliating surrender to*
Germany, The Chronicle foresees the
plain defeat of the ministry and dissolu-tion
of parliament, and predicts that the .
verdict of the appeal to the country will
be so sweeping a condemnation of the
agreement as to deter future govern-meats
from trifling with the prestieo
and honor of Great Britain, and the
reckless throwing away of her territory.
STANLEY COMPLIMENTING SALISBURY.
London, June 19.—H. M. Stanley was
presented with an address at Berwick to-day.
In reply he spoke in the most en-thusiastic
terms of the wisdom of Lord
Salisbury, as shown in the settlement
with Germany, of the African question.
By the agreement between the two coun-tries
50,000 square miles of territory
were added to British possessions, in
Africa. Instead of a dolorus tirade
against the prime minister Stanley said
now is the time to sing a p;ean in his
honor. It is now possible to realize
the great dream of those who are con-cerned
in the exploration and civiliza-tion
of Africa from the Cape of Good
Hope to Cairo. In conclusion, Stanley
said that God gave Lord Salisbury wis-dom
to gain this end and expressed the
hope that the prime minister long might
live and flourish.
WOULD BE A MISFORTUNE.
London, June 19.—A dispatch from,
the Times’ correspondsnt at Boi says it
would be an international misfortune if
the current of Germany thankfulness
toward England should be converted
into a less fraternal feeling by the rejec-tion
by the British parliament of the
bill for the concession of Heligoland to
Germany in return for territorial con-cessions
in Africa made by Germany to
England. The Germans are delighted
beyond measure with the successful ter-mination
of the Anglo-German negotia-tions
regarding the African territory.
